How to check Java version on compiled class

Recently working with Java and encountered some issue regarding java version when I run my java program.
Its said that the version of my program is incompatible and it is expecting some version else.
After some searching, here is one of my finding on how to check the java version for a compiled class.

1) First start your command prompt.
2) For those who don't have the javap class path matched, navigate into bin folder inside your Java folder.
The command is as simple as below:
javap -verbose MyClass
(MyClass is my class file name)

This might output a junk of coding which is not required in this case.
The java class can be determined in the early stage.
So output everything into a file, 

javap -verbose MyClass > myclass.log

And now open the the myclass.log and you can see the following at the start.

 public class MyClass extends java.lang.Object
SourceFile: "MyClass.java"
minor version: 0
major version: 50
Constant pool:
const #1 = class #2; // MyClass
const #2 = Asciz MyClass;
const #3 = class #4; // java/lang/Object
const #4 = Asciz java/lang/Object;

The highlighted red color is the point to determine the java version for this MyClass.class.
It is mapped in the below table:


major  minor Java platform version 
45       3           1.0
45       3           1.1
46       0           1.2
47       0           1.3
48       0           1.4
49       0           1.5
50       0           1.6


This example mean that the class is compiled in Java version 1.6.




Hope this help in your finding.






Good luck and Happy Coding!!!

Django Form: MultipleChoiceField and How To Have Choices From Model Example




















Image







Its been long time after my last post.  During my development in Django, I encountered this issue, where I don't know how to assign tuple value to choice argument in Django MultipleChoiceField.  So here I would like to share on how to do this.   Here are some information on the environment for this code:  Django 1.6.1  doc: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/ref/forms/fields/#multiplechoicefield   Then looks into the forms.py:   #1 import the models which use for MultipleChoiceField  from TestChoice.models import Test   #2 create a static CHOICES variable to hole this tuple, you can perform any normal Django query here.  TEST_CHOICES = [[x.id, x.name] for x in Test.objects.all()]   #3 If you would like to add extra choices, then you can do the following:  TEST_CHOICES.insert(0, ['', "Empty"])   #4 The form field should looks like below, (required=False, only if you want this field to be optional)  class TestForm(forms.Form):      test= forms.MultipleChoiceField

DJango Queryset comparing date time





















Good day to all developers. Today encountered this issue where I do a simple queryset in DJango and hit with the following warning message:      RuntimeWarning: DateTimeField MessageContent.send_time received a naive datetime (2014-05-14 04:46:30.392000) while time zone support is active.     How is this happen? This is due to I do the following datetime comparison in my queryset:     import datetime     Item.objects.filter(created = datetime.datetime.now())     The error is due to TIME_ZONE (in settings.py) is enabled by default.   So the solution for this is pretty simple:   1) Either to set the TIME_ZONE  to False in settings.py ( this will take away the timezone capability of your application)   2) or by comparing to timezone enabled datetime which the code as below:     import datetime     from django.utils.timezone import utc     now = datetime.datetime.utcnow().replace(tzinfo=utc)   Item.objects.filter(created = now)     With this, the problem has been solved.

Jquery Validation fix for date format dd/mm/yyyy in Chrome and Safari





















After a long search, finally i found the solution for JQuery validation ( Can get the plugin from here:   http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Validation ) for date in Chrome and Safari.  This is because Chrome and Safari do not handle the format properly.  When developer set datepicker format from mm/dd/yyyy  (default format) to dd/mm/yyyy , JQuery validation plugin tool does not able validate this format (only happen in Chrome and Browser. Other browser like IE, and Firefox is working fine).   For example, if you initiate datepicker like this:  $(':input.date').datepicker({dateFormat: 'dd/mm/yy'});     Then when you select date with day more than 12 like 13/11/2011  or  22/11/2011  and so on, and when you are using Jquery validation plugin to validate before submit, this will normally return with ' Please enter a valid date ' in Chrome and Safari.   The solve this issue, it is needed to modify JQuery validation plugin. For my case it is jquery.validation.min.js.  Lo
